Is Amelia Earhart shaping up to be an early muse of the season? A girl in a vintage aviator cap had a trio of top street-style photographers swooning earlier in the week, while bomber jackets and full trousers have popped up in several shows—most recently at United Bamboo. A photograph of the famed pilot was indeed the influence for Miho Aoki and Thuy Pham s latest collection. "[It s] a tribute to a fearless, adventurous woman," Pham said.
You don t have to be a risk taker to pull off most of these looks, though. On offer were nicely tailored wool suiting jackets, draped silk dresses with bow details, and, yes, United Bamboo s take on a flight jacket (in wool with fur panels). Fall featured more menswear-inspired details than some of the duo s recent efforts. Aoki and Pham still maintained the sweetness inherent to the brand, but playing it off against more masculine silhouettes served to heighten the charm.
